Ever a tangible reminder of the power of human grit, conquest and faith. History you can touch, smell, and peel. Clean, open restrooms and water fountains despite the government shutdown. Thanks National Park Service.

Tip: if you like taking pictures, save this one for last. We went out early to avoid the afternoon heat but the morning sun doesn’t give the best pics. Something about the front of the church that’s just amazing and deserves some spotlight to make it shine. Check out the artwork on the walls too, so awesome. To note: we traveled with our dog and all the missions were pet friendly but dogs cannot enter the church or any indoor parts so bring someone with you so you can take turns going in. Be sure to remember doggy bags

Beautiful historical site, with functioning church services on weekends. A must see those interested in their heritage, the atmosphere is serene and spiritual. Truly a historical gem, there is additonal buildings to the rear that are also opened and give information about San Antonio Missions.
